In honor of 50 years of the Ford Mustang, the American automaker has brought its all-new 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to the observation deck at the Empire State Building in New York City, just like it did in 1965.

In 1965, a prototype Ford Mustang convertible also made its way to the top of the observation deck in a stunt that shocked the world.

This time, the iconic American muscle car had to be brought up in parts and assembled on location. The Mustang will be on display for two days in celebration of the kick-off of the 2014 New York International Auto Show.
